I survived camping! In tents, on thin, seriously thin “foam” pads, no flushing toilets, no showers and a couple of rain showers.
I know I paint such a picturesque picture for you. Honestly it was an amazingly fun weekend. But I have come to a realisation that maybe I’m a little more high maintenance than I [...]

Picture me; sitting in a rubber ring, sipping my drink…
Late tomorrow afternoon we’re hitting the road, for a camping trip at Kai Iwi Lakes – apparently it’s spectacularly beautiful – I’ve never been. Myself and the uni crew are off for a long weekend of well deserved relaxation, drinking, tanning, wakeboarding, rubber-ring floating, eating, gossiping and anything else that comes when eight guys and [...]
NZ is it.
This country is stunning. Last weekend I was snowboarding up a mountain, only five hours from where I live. This weekend I was tanning in the sun and out playing on the beach, – even got slightly sunburnt – only three hours from where I live. Seriously, what country can top that?! NONE!
It was a [...]
I heart road trips
It is a stunningly beautiful day in the City of Sails, and so this morning I dressed accordingly in jandals, 3/4 tights and a dress. I, however, did not take into account the intense fripple-causing wind. I know I am probably a bit eager for Summer, but come on! We’ve had enough cold Winter days. [...]
snaps from the snow
Saturday was our only chance at boarding time because Sunday was complete crap weather! We were up there for a few hours. The amazing friends that they are; they were very patient with me while I grasped the concept on what I was supposed to be doing. I improved 150% from last time, I tell [...]
Snow, spas and scandal are on!
The day has arrived! YUS! Myself and two gorgeous girlies are road tripping to the snow, Ohakune to be exact, this afternoon. I am in the best mood! Ha!
Apparently there is a dance party on down there on Saturday night. I wasn’t aware of that! We’ll have to check it out! You will have to [...]
come on Auckland. let's get chilled like 'kune!
An epic weekend. I loved my first snowboarding experience! I didn’t get too injured – a few people tried to slam into me, idiots! Just got aching-leg syndrome. But nothing I can’t cope with! The atmosphere down there in Ohakune is just amazing. So nice to get out of the big city of Auckland!
We headed [...]
the quintessential NZ winter party experience of the year
This afternoon we are off!! Serious excitement right now. Myself, my gorgeous girlfriends; Toni and Eileen, and a few boys (brothers and friends) are heading to Ohakune at 4pm this afternoon. It’s Mardi Gras time!
But alas, as I sit here the rain is pouring. Damn typical huh? I really hope the weather is nicer down [...]
